Good stuff. I'll admit that I was apprehensive bringing him on. Seems odd that Izzo would go out of his way to make sure everyone knew that he was dismissed. Good to hear that Fife vouched for him. Sometimes you forget what you were like at 18.

I agree that this is a great story and I give KK kudos for opening up and admitting the issue at MSU was partly his, and maybe all his doing. The fact that he sees his girl friend as one who has helped him mature is real telling, as women when it's the right one, can have a very positive influence on a man.
Article did not mention his family, I wonder about that aspect of his life.

What I find slightly interesting is that Fife would vouch for him, while Fife's head coach and boss when out of the way to state he was dismissed. I really like Izzo, but that's just a little weird.

Maybe he was just butt-hurt that KK decided to leave. Coaches have feelings too!

It sure seems personal but it also might be he stuck his neck out for Kenny with the faculty and felt betrayed when it happened again.

Some coaches may want to be clear on the reason for a player departure so that it's not a reflection on the program. Certainly a balancing act to not shoot down a player's other prospects, but if the player brought the trouble upon himself/herself, it's fair game vs. allowing others to think that the coach wanted the player off the team for any other reason.

Nice story; helps put the issue surrounding his transfer in perspective. Now, I just wish he'd make a higher percentage of those open threes.;-)
